5.0 out of 5 stars Fine research of the 1st Family of American Theatre, August 6, 2003

This review is from: The Mad Booths of Maryland (Paperback)

I first read the revised edition of this historical biography in 1972 & have been reading about the Booths ever since. The wealth of information is descriptive & in depth; offers a wonderful understanding of Lincoln's assassin by recounting his heritage from a "wild" family of their time. Have owned my own personal copy since 1974 when I was sixteen years old. Anyone interested in this subject, this is a gem of a book not to be discarded.
